“Worry is a thief, Fear is a liar, and Anxiety is their trembling, furrow-browed baby.”

“Healing is messy and fluid and often unpredictable. I can’t manufacture my own healing. It usually takes longer than I think, runs deeper than I wished, and involves more areas of my life than I ever imagined. But once I come through it on the other side, healing not only offers the closure I thought I wanted, it comes with a wholeness, wellness, and restoration that closure lacks.”
― Emily P. Freeman, Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life
